Consulting agency, Gartner, has published a threatening report: by 2020, Artificial intelligence could replace skilled professionals in the fields of medicine, law or IT. But this technology won’t only be useful for repetitive or time consuming tasks, it will also have its uses in skilled professions where the added value usually lies within human intelligence.

A major concern for the last thirty years, artificial intelligence is getting a new lease of life this year. Thanks to the combined action of powerful machines, high-performance algorithms and the creation of exponential data, artificial intelligence can finally reach its full potential. Continue reading
Intensified competition (the rise in online banking, fintech, regtech, etc.), the arrival of millennials on the labour market as well as changes in customer bases are making the French banking sector far more complex and driving traditional banks to undergo major transformations.
For the past few months, these organisations have been shaking things up and embarking on New Ways of Working: the change has begun. Continue reading
The first thing we must understand is that the term “artificial intelligence” (AI) has been happily taken over by the digital marketing establishment. It is a means to simplify developing the marketing materials that they view as essential to drumming up business. It leads ordinary people like you and me down the path of looking at AI as the development of a race of machines, robots if you will, that will be as smart if not smarter than us.

From vacuum-cleaner robots that clean your house all by themselves to virtual assistants that can keep track of every appointment in your work agenda to self-driving cars that will soon be circulating on the streets of our cities: One of the most important applications of Artificial Intelligence is the ability to make our technological devices ever more autonomous, able to understand on their own how to accomplish a task. Yet it is curious that while many such devices connected to the internet are learning to run on their own, the system that supports this transformation — network infrastructure (routers, hubs, servers, etc.) — continues to largely be operated manually.

The workplace is changing rapidly. Digital is transforming both how employees work and the way in which they expect to engage with their employers’ HR services. At Sopra Steria, we’ve recently partnered with Management Today on a survey that looked at the extent to which companies are using digital (data analytics, artificial intelligence, automation) to deliver a more consumer-like employee experience.
